‘Not happening’, ‘100m’s is too much’ – Man City fans react as club table crazy new bid for ‘Unreal’ signing in red-hot form

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola’s side are one of three clubs to have already drawn up a first offer for Joško Gvardiol, offering €100M plus bonuses.

The 20-year-old young defender’s immense World Cup form has intensified interest in his signature, with European giants among the heavyweights in the frame.

Gvardiol’s stock has undergone a meteoric rise during the World Cup in Qatar, standing out as one of the tournament’s top players. He has amazed many with his leadership at a young age, defensive awareness, passing and last-ditch tackling to help Croatia reach an unlikely back-to-back semi-final.

Whilst Gvardiol is focused on the World Cup, and helping Croatia progress to their second-consecutive final, behind the scenes, his agent is sorting out his future.

According to Foot Mercato, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all lodged bids to sign Red Bull Leipzig centre-back Joško Gvardiol.

The report claims Man City’s bid is worth over €100m including bonuses, with the deal including a percentage of any future sale.

While Manchester United’s and Chelsea’s bids amount to between €90-95m. The bidding war for the highly sought-after defender has seemingly started.

The report adds that Bayern Munich are also in the picture and have scheduled a meeting with Gvardiol’s agent for transfer talks. Barcelona and Real Madrid are, too, interested in the 20-year-old but are looking elsewhere due to his ‘stratospheric’ price tag.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
